Identity and regenerated landscape - an opportunity for the 'new' paper mill-museum in Tivoli.

The former Amicucci-Parmegiani paper mill in Tivoli, Italy, has been abandoned for a long time but is now the focus of a design competition for its restoration. This mill is part of a larger network of disused industrial paper mill settlements along the Aniene river, which reflect the area's history of production. The New European Bauhaus strategy seeks to revitalize old structures by incorporating new approaches. In this case, a Sapienza startup has developed a remarkable example of renovating, repairing, and reconstructing the modern built heritage. Rather than discarding the past, it is important to work with the history of buildings and adapt them to current needs. This requires understanding and respecting the materiality and history of inherited structures. The proposed intervention strategy for the Amicucci- Parmegiani paper mill aims to preserve its industrial identity while incorporating a functional program that engages the community and showcases the building's history. By following these principles, the renovation project will ensure the building's significance is maintained while meeting contemporary requirements.
